A spin balancer rotates the wheel of a car at 480 revolutions per minute. if the diameter of the wheel is 26 inches, what road s

peed is being tested? express your answer in miles per hour. at how many revolutions per minute should the balancer be set to test a road speed of 80 miles per hour?

Part A:
To answer this item, we need to convert the given revolutions per minute in speed expressed as miles per hour. In order to do so, we need to use the dimensional analysis and the appropriate conversion factor.
 
We calculate the circumference that is covered by the wheel.
     C = πD
where C is the circumference and D is the diameter.

Substitute the known values,
       C = π(26 in) = 81.68 inches

The speed tested is calculated below.
      s = (81.68 inches/rev)(480 rev/min)(1 mil/63360 inches)(60 min/1 hr)
            s = 37.127 mil/h

<em>ANSWER: 37.127 mil/h</em>

Part B:
Similar to what was done in Part A, the setting of the balancer is calculated below,
       setting = (80 mil/h)(1h/60 min)(63360 in/1 mil)(1 rev/81.68 in)
         setting = 1034.23 rev/min

<em>ANSWER: 1034.23 rev/min</em>

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between frequency and wavelength?
Len [333]
The relationship between the frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by the equation:

v=λf, where v is the velocity of the wave, λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency. 

If we divide the equation by f we get:

λ=v/f

From here we see that the wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. So as the frequency increases the wavelength decreases. 

So the second statement is true: As the frequency of a wave increases, the shorter the wavelength is.

What is the maximum weight a boat can hold if a boat can displace 60.5ml?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

a. 60.5 kg

Explanation:

Given data,

The maximum water a boat can displace is, 60.5 ml

According to the principle of buoyancy, the weight of the floating body is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.

Under standard temperature and pressure, a unit mass of water equals one liter.

If a boat can displace a maximum of 60.5 ml of water, then it can hold a mass of a maximum of 60.5 kg of mass.

A sprinter set a high school record in track and field, running 200.0 m in 20.6 s . what is the average speed of the sprinter in
Paraphin [41]

Answer : The average speed of the sprinter is, 34.95 Km/hr

Solution :

Average velocity : It is defined as the distance traveled by the time taken.

Formula used for average velocity :

v_{av}=\frac{d}{t}

where,

v_{av} = average velocity

d = distance traveled = 200 m

t = time taken = 20.6 s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the average velocity of the sprinter.

v_{av}=\frac{200m}{20.6s}\times \frac{3600}{1000}=34.95Km/hr

conversion :

(1 Km = 1000m)

(1 hr = 3600 s)

Therefore, the average speed of the sprinter is, 34.95 Km/hr
